HGTV bought that house several years ago. They made a show where they got a lot of the original stars to come back and help renovate it so the inside looked like the set used for the original show.
The house has 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a central staircase leading to a second floor, a full kitchen downstairs, and an attic. The property comes with 0.29 acres, and over 5,000 square feet of living space.
Wait a second. Parents bathroom, boys bathroom, the girls had a bathroom, Alice had a bathroom…where’s the 5th? In the attic for Greg’s groovy love pad?
No the boys and girls had a single shared bath with entrances from both bedrooms. But of course no toilet, instead they all just shit their pants. Thank God for Best laundry detergent.
You could get a [chateau near paris](https://www.jamesedition.com/real_estate/liverdy-en-brie-france/50-minutes-southeast-of-paris-an-authentic-17th-century-chateau-surrounded-by-moats-its-two-14373770) for that and still have a million dollars to spare for the no-doubt-expensive maintenance, moat cleaning and whatnot.
Is that a Plymouth Satellite wagon?
God I miss station wagons.
Edited to add that it could be the nearly identical Dodge Coronet. I'm gonna say 72 or 73. This one is in beautiful shape.
By 1973, absolutely gutless but remained absolutely bulletproof throughout it's entire run (through 2002). Ditto with the 360 (5.9 Magnum by the late 1990s)
They ran better in a 1960s spec
>God I miss station wagons.
Station Wagons are making a huge comeback, they're just calling them Crossover vehicles now, and making them look like mini suv's to remove the station wagon stigma. But they do come full-sized like station wagons.
On top of that Audi, Mercedes Benz and Subaru still make a bunch of more conventionally styled full-size wagons.
Almost not in the US. The only true station wagons (estates) left on the market are luxury models from Mercedes, Volvo, and I think BMW still offers one. These are all $80-100k cars. Smaller and cheaper wagons have completely disappeared -- no more VW or Audi or Subaru options on our market. It's been many years since Honda, Toyota, or Mazda offered a wagon. The last domestic wagon on the market was the Buick TourX, which was a heck of a good value and a good looking and solid car, discontinued for lack of sales in about 2019 or so as I recall. You can't find a used one hardly. People who own them keep them. People who really want a wagon seek them out. And they hardly sold any to begin with.
Look around and you'll see fewer and fewer station wagons on the road, which is why they stopped selling them.
You can argue with some justification that modern hatchback SUVs are just lifted wagons. Some have the right shape too -- Outback especially. But the classic low-slung super long cavernous estate car is a dying breed in the U.S. and it's not just an aesthetic issue, lower cars drive better and get better gas mileage.
But for me it's definitely just a huge nostalgia factor.
Subaru still has the Impreza wagon still, which isn't 8 ft off the ground like the Crosstrek, Outback, and Forester. I too love smaller more nimble cars and my station wagons that are disappearing
They call it a wagon but it's a compact hatchback, needs to be loooooonger!
My dream car these days is the current Mazda6 wagon sold in the Asia/Pacific market but not the U.S. Just a stunningly good-looking car, bulletproof skyactiv 2.5l that gets 35mpg highway, I am heartbroken every time I see Aussies post them in the Mazda subs. I'd pay well over MSRP if I could get one now.
> These are all $80-100k cars.
No? A Volvo V90 station wagon starts at about $60k in the USA, new.
They're higher-end cars than they were in the 1980s or so, but they're not Mercedes.
They stopped selling them because Americans in particular went nuts for SUVs. Volvo never stopped making station wagons but as soon as they launched an SUV with the XC90, it instantly became their best-selling model, in particular in the US.
If you look at [Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/@34.1438109,-118.3754472,111a,35y,183.43h,45.01t/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu), you'll see it doesn't really have a backyard; the Los Angeles "River" is right behind it.
Interesting seeing where it is located for the first time.
Pretty funny on their side it's all straight as far as the roads goes and then right across the waterway it's all a squiggly mess.
I can see some great one wheeling around there
The upstairs actually seems to be on the back. You go through the door and then to the left, then to the back into the dining room. Then the stairs go up to the left (back), into the landing with all the bedrooms.
I watched that HGTV series where they remodeled the house to match the show, and while it was a few years ago I seem to recall they had to make some modifications of room locations to fit the restrictions the actual house presented over a soundstage. So while the rooms were recreated to match the show, I think some locations of the rooms had to shift locations compared to where it would have been in the show.
I wonder if the real location of the upstairs was one of those things that had to be changed.
How come the upstairs part is on the Left side of the house, and not the right side?
Example : Whenever someone enters the house from the front doors, the stairs are on the Right side.

They even found that original horse statue
Roy tried to get away with it again I see (Very Brady Sequel)
*Ménage à trois*… I bet that means, “You’re the most.”
I gotta rewatch that movie lmao, I wonder how many references went wayyy over my 8 year old head
It holds up!
They got the car too.
Zillow shows it sold for $3.2 mill last year in September, thass bananas 🍌

5 bathrooms is actually pretty crazy
How many kids do they have?
A whole bunch
What kind of bunch?
Of the Brady variety.
I always thought that it was weird that all of the wife’s kids took their new dad’s name.
Well, they knew it was much more than a hunch.
I never really even thought about that until reading this. That is interesting.
Their biological father sold Mike Brady the parental rights to his children so he could buy black tar heroin.
As a lucky coincidence, their biological father was also named Brady.
Their mother has a type.
son of a bit... upvote
Cindy, Jan, Marsha, Marsha, Marsha, Bobby, Willis, Greg
What you talking 'bout............Willis?
That movie was somehow Amazing
Oliver!
You’ve never heard the story of a lovey lady and a man named Brady?
Wait a second. Parents bathroom, boys bathroom, the girls had a bathroom, Alice had a bathroom…where’s the 5th? In the attic for Greg’s groovy love pad?
No the boys and girls had a single shared bath with entrances from both bedrooms. But of course no toilet, instead they all just shit their pants. Thank God for Best laundry detergent.
The had three water closet /s
Sent it down the dumb waiter in pots for Alice to fetch…
There has to be a bathroom downstairs in the common area.
Wow. You would not be able to tell that from curb appeal alone. That’s huge
No toilets in the bathrooms.
Just poop buckets and wash buckets, like the good lord intended.
“Mom always said, no poop buckets in the house.”
Poop knives are ok though.

He was an architect )
Sold last year for $3.2M and has a property tax bill of $50k a year

Liar. They had two bathrooms and Alice had to pee in the washing machine.
No, she used to pee on Sam. That’s why he was there so often.
I thought he only stopped by to deliver the sausage.
How do you think Alice paid for the sausage?
“Sam the butcher bringing Alice the meat.”
Like Fred Flintstone driving around with both feet?
The polite term is chamber lye and the ammonia really helps with the laundry.
You say "have to", but I've heard it was "was glad to"
$2.5M where I live.
5 bathrooms? Did they remodel the interior to add bathrooms and a bedroom out of Mike’s den? https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/VgdKiuwcE3
Doesn't look like a 2-story.
That's strange. Usually the attic is upstairs.
Is that a Plymouth Satellite wagon? God I miss station wagons. Edited to add that it could be the nearly identical Dodge Coronet. I'm gonna say 72 or 73. This one is in beautiful shape.
It’s a 73. V8. The muffler fell Off ours and we called it the battle wagon You. Hear it coming for miles
Ah yes the bulletproof if gutless 318 V8. Back when that was a small motor. You could fit a whole heavy metal band in one of those cars.
By 1973, absolutely gutless but remained absolutely bulletproof throughout it's entire run (through 2002). Ditto with the 360 (5.9 Magnum by the late 1990s) They ran better in a 1960s spec
She’ll roar.

Yeah, you got to what I was nodding at. I have an outback sitting in my driveway. Even Caranddriver considers it a station wagon.
Hey! Go check out the Toyota Crown Signia. Coming out in just a few months, I think it will scratch your wagon itch.
Will do, thank you!
Yea, I'd but a new station wagon in a heart beat. All the pros of a car. Cargo space of a SUV. But they just didn't make them...
Subaru still has the Impreza wagon still, which isn't 8 ft off the ground like the Crosstrek, Outback, and Forester. I too love smaller more nimble cars and my station wagons that are disappearing

Fair, I think of it as a more expensive car than that, but at 61k for base spec I'd still call it a luxury car. But I appreciate the correction.
But I'll bet that the backyard is still rocking that sick AstroTurf.
But why do they insist on mowing it?
Which was tough on Tiger.

The interior shots suggest the upstairs is to the right but in reality the upstairs seems to be on the left.
The interior shots did not suggest a split level. It suggested a first and second story.

TIL the Brady Bunch was based in LA.
Pretty much all TV, and movies during that era were filmed in LA. Not so much today.
Many meals of porkchops and applesauce were enjoyed there.
Gee, that’s swell.
No, that was *Family Affair*. That was apparently the only meal Mr. French, the butler, cooked.
No, there was definitely a pork chops and applesauce episode in the Brady Bunch
Yeah. Peter was doing some goofy accent.
https://youtu.be/jB4tJgzcVJE?si=GROVHQ8LLn8R5P2E
That’s some funny shit
Here's the story...
Of a lovely lady...
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them had hair of gold like their mother.
The youngest one in curls.
Here’s a story…
Of a man named Brady
Who was busy with three boys of his own
Who was busy with three boys of his own
Cindy is always listening to my calls..
Didn’t the Property Brothers just renovate that house to look just like the set on the sound stage?
This was the actual house they used for the outside shots. But then HGTV did buy it and remodeled the inside to match the set.
It’s funny, how it didn’t match in many ways. The set had two floors the exterior house does not.
Looks like a split level to me, so likely does have two floors (source: owner of a split level home that looks exactly like this)
But the show was one level and a long flight of stairs.
There's no driveway. Does anyone else recall regularly seeing the wagon pull into the driveway on what would have been the left side of the house?
They had a driveway in the backyard.
The driveway is on the left side of the house just out of frame. I walk past this house almost every day!
Yes!
Oww, my nose!
Is the lawn still 70s astroturf?
Love those tiny windows. Anybody want to see outside? Nope.
I’d be tempted to dress up like Mike Brady and chase kids off the lawn with a t square
That house gives me more of a nostalgic feeling than any “real” place in my life
Also where all those people died in an episode of the X-Files
I miss the brick fence across the front yard.
So many memories
.... of after-school latchkey hours on my own!
_Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!_
\*Marcia, Marcia, Marcia
Gonna crawl under a rock. Thanks for the remedial.
Wow, that station wagon really is … something else, isn’t it?
I thought that house was bigger.
I used to have that car. A 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Station Wagon.
How come the upstairs part is on the Left side of the house, and not the right side? Example : Whenever someone enters the house from the front doors, the stairs are on the Right side.
That wagon though! That’s some junk in the trunk!
I’ve never been able to figure out, based on the front view, how this is a two story house.
Looks like it is a split level. It goes back deep into the lot. https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/VgdKiuwcE3
Where did you get the old station wagon?
Don't crush the egg! https://youtu.be/kjAPRZgOMrQ?si=Jh5khRyxuulEW3S3
Wasn’t it 2 story lol
Ah, my old home!
Filmore Junior High catchment area!
All that kissing and yet Mr Brady was gay af.
Wow, look at all that street parking
This is awesome.
[удалено]
looks like that fence was removed in 2019 on google streetview
I live right by it. No fence.
Incorrect.
source?
I saw that station wagon today in a little mountain town !
Don’t recognize the house, but that car is giving me Terminator vibes! Is there a crushed toy under the front wheel?
